IPv6 Enabled Networks

permalink:

This graph shows the percentage of networks (ASes) that announce an IPv6 prefix for a specified list of countries or groups of countries

Methodology

For every date we sampled, we took a BGP table dump from the Routing
Information Service (RIS) and counted the percentage of ASes that announced an
IPv6 prefix, relative to the total number of ASes in this routing table. We
mapped the ASes to country using the RIR stats files. To assess the accuracy of
that mapping we compared it to geolocating all announced IPv4 space for an AS.
Geolocation was done with the MaxMind geolocation database. We found that in
89% of ASes all IPv4 address space geolocated to the same country as RIR stats.
An extra 5% of ASes geolocated to multiple countries, but the largest fraction
of address space geolocated to the same country as RIR stats. Some countries do
not show up in this graph, either because there are no ASes in the RIR stats
for that country, or the ASes listed for the country are not announcing any
address space.
